Paige's Adventure in the Snow

This is what we did for some sunday afternoon fun - NOT!!

Got stopped at Titiokura Hill, 40 mins north of Napier at 2.45pm, Then had to walk up the hill in blizzard conditions to 4wd vehicles who bthen ferried us to Te Pohue Pub & then on down to Eland station & then we caught buses to Hukarere College at Eskdale & then buses to town to taxis & finally home. The whole process took from 2.45 pm to 1.45am when we walked in the front door at. Paige was a little star the whole time.

I really don't recommend this adventure to the faint hearted.

The pictures attached are travelling from Taupo at the Rangitikei plains to Te Haroto (The summit) . This is our car when first stopped, by time we left it at 7.30pm you could not open the doors without pushing snow out of the way, couldn't see the bonnet, front bummper, windscreen or Roofracks. It was a big white blob.
